I dont know about you guys, but I find it very disheartening that I have a 5,866 times more likely chance of getting killed by lightening than I do of getting rich off dumb luck.
You have better chance for the following events to happen long before you ever win the lottery:
Dealt a royal flush on the opening hand in a poker game (1 in 649,739). Killed by terrorists while traveling abroad (1 in 650,000). Die from flesh-eating bacteria (1 in 1 million). Heart disease caused by eating a steak a week (1 in 48,000). Killed by a lightning strike (1 in 30,000).
If one person purchases 50 Lotto tickets each week, they will win the jackpot about once every 5,000 years.
If a car gets 25 miles per gallon, and a gallon of gas is bought for every Lotto ticket bought, there will be enough gas for about 750 round trips to the moon before the jackpot is won.
It is three times more likely for a person driving ten miles to buy a Lotto ticket to be killed in a car accident than to win the jackpot.
You don't play the lottery to win, silly! You play the lottery to imagine what you'd do if you won! You pay for the day dreams that get you through the day until you discover, "Oh well, I didn't win and neither did almost everybody else!" If you're lucky, you'll win enough to cover your ticket. Of course, those who are good at math will never put more than a five spot on it.

I think Herm Edwards has something to say about this.

Ah! See, the mistake you made was in thinking that the lottery is a sport. Of course, you'd play a "sport" to win! A random drawing from a pool of millions of participants? It's best if you consider it blind luck.

I have some numbers going on this also, but if anyone on this thread DOES win, I think this amounts to guarantees that could be admissible in civil court...just sayin'...

I vow to fix the sound on the Which & fill in the ditch with corn once I win. MMJ will also play 3 sets annually in the air-conditioned Whore Tent, located in Tents Only and open only to Inforoosters.

I would take the roofs off of all 3 "tents" and convert all of them into amphitheaters with a state-to-back-row elevation where everyone who wants to see Cold War Kids and Florence, can.
What the hell how do you die from being left handed? I know us lefties live shorter lives.
Everything is made for right handed people. In 25 years of life I have still never used a chainsaw, circular saw or anything else that I have to hold in my hand that has the possibility of killing me. Don't even get me started on scissors. Didn't win anything in Mega Millions but I won two free tickets in Tennessee Cash thanks to the inbred gas station attendant who somehow heard Tennessee Cash instead of Mega Millions.
Yup, spent $5 to win $2! Sorry to say, you all are goin' to have to pay your own way to 'Roo. Got nothin' but pocket lint and dreamcookie crumbs to share with you.

I am left handed and Darwin has it in for me!
We need lefties to make the things used by the right-handed.
